Challenging Schedule Ahead For Carolina

CHAPEL HILL - The University of North Carolina women's basketball team is scheduled to face 13 opponents this season who competed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament.

The Atlantic Coast Conference released the 2018-19 basketball schedule on Tuesday. UNC's opponents include five non-conference and eight ACC squads who participated in last year's NCAA Tournament. Carolina will face two of those league rivals twice, giving UNC 15 games in the regular season against the 2018 NCAA field.

UNC will open its season with a road game for the first time in 19 seasons when Elon opens its brand-new facility on Nov.
